Over at ComicTwart they are doing an Al Williamson Tribute. I don’t follow the ComicTwart Blog regularly, though I should as a few friends are involved.

Al Williamson was a huge influence on me at a time in the the early ’90’s when my work was making the transition from promising amateurishness to early pro-level (though, oddly enough it was after I crossed that threshold that work started to be harder to find) and for a time drawing as much like Al Williamson as I could without slavishly swiping was the goal. I’ve moved away from that in the last ten years or so, though more due to the subject matter of the work I do than any loss of interest in the Alex Raymond/Hal Foster school of Art that Al synthesized so well.

Anyway, the Comic Twart theme of the week got me inspired and I decided to join the fun. I sketched this out last night in between pages of script of the latest storyboard. If I can squeeze in the time, I’ll try to ink it before the end of the week.

Hi and welcome to the art of Craig A. Taillefer! I am a professional cartoonist working in the fields of Comic Books, Animation, and pretty much anything else people want me to draw! This site is primarily an on-line portfolio of my work with a resume and contact information, but it also brings all of my web comics, comic books, forums, publishing endeavours and musical activities under one roof. There is a lot to look at so browse away and enjoy!
